In the novel, the Wonka Chocolate Factory was founded by Willy Wonka, supposedly sometime between the 1920's and 1930's. Eventually, Wonka's amazing invention such as chocolate ice cream that never melts and bluebird's eggs that grow baby bluebirds sold so well (especially his Wonka Bars) that his factory grew 50 times as big as any other. However, other candy companies grew jealous, so many other companies started sending in spies to steal Wonka's secret recipes. Finally, Wonka was so furious that he closed his factory forever.

"These rooms we are going to see are enormous! They're larger than football fields! No building in the world would be big enough to house them! But down here, underneath the ground, I've got all the space I want. There's no limit - so long as I hollow it out." - Willy Wonka, from the novel.

There are known to be hundreds, maybe thousands of rooms in the Wonka factory. These lists will show the full name of the rooms in the books, films, and commercials. Some rooms will have short descriptions next to them, but those that don't may or may not be lacking in information.

Lickity Split Peas (possibly based on the same peas known as lickity-split peas, green and yellow split peas are commonly used to make pea soup or "split pea soup", and sometimes pease pudding, which was commonly prepared in Medieval Europe. The pease pudding nursery rhyme is not sung by the Oompa-Loompas.)
